Description

DESCRIPTION

Stackable container for the transport, storage and display of products

TECHNICAL SECTOR

The present invention refers to a stackable cardboard container that has been specially designed to allow carrying out the transport, storage and display of products such as jars, tubs or other types of containers or products such as certain dairy products whose special configuration and/or precise nature that these must be duly stabilized within the container to maintain a certain position and prevent them from hitting each other.

The object of the invention is to provide a container with the characteristics described above that is manufactured in a single piece, thus reducing manufacturing and storage costs, as it occupies a minimum volume in the pre-assembled position.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

In the field of practical application of the invention, although numerous models of cardboard boxes open at the top are known, with stacking means, intended for the transport, storage and display of products, when it comes to stabilizing the products contained within the box requires additional elements or parts, normally plastic separators, which are installed on the bottom of the tray or box, which is a problem with a double aspect, on the one hand, having to use several pieces of various materials means a higher economic cost, to which must be added the environmental problem of using plastic parts, such as the aforementioned separators.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

The stackable container for the transport, storage and exhibition of products that is recommended solves in a fully satisfactory way the problems previously exposed in the different aspects mentioned, based on a simple but effective solution, offering a container obtained from a single piece of cardboard, ecological, that when disassembled presents a laminar configuration that can be easily stacked with a minimum volumetric occupation, and that once assembled allows for the totally safe stabilization of the products that are arranged on it, without these being able to move with respect to the position in which they are implanted.

For this, and more specifically, the container of the invention is constituted from the development of a die-cut cardboard sheet with fold lines in which a central rectangular sector is defined that determines the bottom, each of whose edges the respective gussets and headwalls emerge in such a way that the headwalls extend laterally in respective rectangular sectors that are linked to the gussets by virtue of the fact that these extend superiorly in a rectangular sector that folds internally and determines a double wall for the gusset, of so that the emergent sector of the sides of the headwalls is inserted between these two walls of the gusset, counting the free edge of the second wall of each gusset with a flange that engages in a complementary groove provided in correspondence with the larger lateral edge of the bottom of the box.

The second wall of the gussets extends laterally into a pair of rectangular sectors of low height, which fold in on themselves, determining in correspondence with the vertical edges of the box a triangular prismatic column that increases rigidity and facilitates stacking between boxes. , as it can be vertically coupled with other boxes of the same type, by virtue of the inclusion of diagonal grooves in correspondence with the four vertices of the bottom in which an upper projection that emerges from each of said prismatic-triangular columns fits.

In accordance with the essence of the invention, provision has been made for the ends to include some sectors in their middle zone delimited by cutting lines parallel to the smaller sides of the ends and extending from a certain height to their upper free edge. These sectors extend above said upper edge of the headwall and are configured to fold orthogonally towards the inside of the box during assembly, defining a plane parallel to the bottom of the box at a pre-established distance, so that one of said sectors ends in a tab with a height according to the expected height between the bottom of the box and the height of the plane formed by both sectors, a tab that has a width slightly greater than the width of the bottom of the box, so that its ends determine means of interlocking on respective vertical slots provided on the inner wall of the flanges.

One of the sectors that folds towards the interior of the box will have a tab in correspondence with the middle area of its free edge that fits into a slot provided in correspondence with the edge from which the separating tab of the opposite sector emerges, remaining both sectors flush and forming a single plane parallel to the bottom of the box.

Based on this structuring, the aforementioned sectors may be affected by a plurality of holes or notches suitably distributed and configured according to the configuration in plan of the containers to be stabilized and exposed through the box itself, so that said containers are inserted tightly in the corresponding holes until resting on the bottom of the box, being perfectly stabilized.

Another solution to stabilize these two sectors consists in the container receiving holes including sectors that can be folded towards the bottom of the container, ending in projections that lock into respective slots provided in correspondence of said bottom.

Both the bottom of the box and the sides of the box may include ventilation holes, depending on the type of product to be transported-stored-displayed.

PREFERRED EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION

In view of the figures outlined, it can be seen how the container of the invention is constituted from a single piece, specifically a die-cut cardboard sheet with fold lines in which a central rectangular sector is defined that determines the bottom ( 1), from whose larger lateral edges emerge from the fold lines two rectangular sectors that determine the first walls (2) of the gussets, while from each of their smaller lateral edges the corresponding ends (3) emerge.

The ends (3) extend laterally into rectangular sectors (4) that facilitate the assembly of the box or container. The first walls (2) of the gussets extend in correspondence with their upper edge in other rectangular sectors similar to said first walls, determining a second wall (2') for said gussets that, when assembled, folds inwards of the box so that the rectangular sectors (4) of the ends (3) are arranged between both walls (2, 2") of each gusset.

For its part, the second wall (2') of the skirting includes a central flange (5) in correspondence with its free edge that is locked in a notch (6) provided in correspondence with the middle area of the greater lateral edge of the bottom ( one).

In parallel, the second wall (2') of the gussets extends on both sides in respective pairs of vertically elongated rectangular sectors (7-7') that fold in correspondence with the vertical edges of the box forming a prism with a determining triangular base of a stiffening column for the box, in which a prominent lug-like element (8) is established at the top intended to fit into a complementary diagonal slot (9) provided in correspondence with the vertices of the bottom of the box that is immediately available above it, which facilitates stacking between boxes, as it can be coupled vertically with tongue and groove with other boxes of the same type.

In accordance with one of the essential characteristics of the invention, it has been provided that the ends (3) include sectors (11-11') in their middle area delimited by cutting lines (10) parallel to the shortest side of the ends ( 3) that extend from a certain height to its upper free edge. These sectors (11-11") extend above said upper edge of the headwall and are configured to fold orthogonally towards the interior of the box when assembled, as shown in figures 3 to 5, defining a plane parallel to the bottom (1) from the box.

internas de las gualderas, tal como muestra la figura 3.In order to stabilize these sectors (11-11 '), it has been planned that one of them, the sector (11 '), be finished off at its free end in a separating flange (12) with a height according to the height foreseen in the assembly between the bottom of the box and the height of the plane formed by both sectors (11-11'). When assembled, the separating flange (12) rests on the bottom (1) of the box and is extended laterally by two appendages (13) designed to lock into respective slots (14) provided in the walls.

inside the gutters, as shown in figure 3.

The other sector (11) will be stabilized through a tab (15) insertable in a central slot (16) provided in the opposite sector (11 '), specifically in correspondence with the folding edge from which the separating tab (12) emerges. ), so that in their coupling both sectors (11-11') are joined to each other and flush forming a single plane.

These sectors (11-11') will be affected by a plurality of holes or notches (17), with a configuration according to the plan configuration of the products to be stably contained within the container, so that said products are inserted tightly into the corresponding holes or notches (17) until resting on the bottom of the box, being perfectly stabilized.

In the example shown in figures 1-5, these notches have a truncated circular configuration and participate in a number of six distributed between the two sectors (11-11'), although, as has just been said, the number and shape of the holes or notches (17) can vary in their design depending on the type of products for which the container is intended.

According to the embodiment variant of figure 6, and as regards the means of stabilizing the sectors (11-11') inside the container, the separating flange (12) could simply rest on the bottom ( 1) of the box, without attaching to the sides of the same, and parallel in the holes or notches (17) are defined folding sectors (19) topped in projections (20) intended to be locked in the assembly in respective elongated slots (21) provided in correspondence with the bottom (1) of the container . In this way it is also achieved that both sectors (11-11') are joined together and flush forming a single plane parallel to the bottom (1) of the box.

Finally, say that the bottom (1) and/or the first and/or second walls (2, 2") of the gussets are capable of incorporating ventilation holes (18), depending on the needs of each case, such and as shown in Figure 2. Obviously, these ventilation holes (18) may vary in size and arrangement in different embodiments.
